The question was re ferral to him by the Governor some time ago on complaints from Richmond and Chatham counties, where the tax re ceivers demanded that the military or ganizations give In the armories for tax ation. The officers of the companies refused to j do so and appealed :he matter to the Governor, who asked the attorney general 1 fr an opinion Mr. Terrell has written the tax receivers that armories are rated as public property and are exempt from taxation by statue.

Some of the subscribers want it in Newnan, while oth ers say it should be in Atlanta. The move ment for the monument was started in the home of the late Governor, and it is contended for that reason it should be there.

Ga., Aug. 20—Cotton is begin ning to come in at a lively rate now, more than seventy-five bales being re ceived Saturday. The cotton crop in this county is short, the percentage as com pared to last year’s crop being about 75. Corn is very fine. One day last week an ear of corn from the farm of Capt. J. L. Manning of Donaldson was brought to the city which measured eleven inches in length and eight and one-half inches In circumference. The corn upon the ear weighed one and one-quarter pounds. There were 1.440 grains upon the ear. For ty-five ears of this corn will make a bushel. The ear was an average one and was not by’ any means the largest in Capt. Manning's field. A large quantity of peas. cane, hay’, potatoes and corn will be made by Eaurens county farmers this year, and they will be In good shape this fall, despite the small cotton crop: The farmers of this county are learning co live at home and raise cotton only as a surplus crop. A few years ago cotton was the principal crop. Mr. Andrew J. Fugua. one of the oldest citizens of the county’ was buried in the Dublin cemetery. He was nearing his 94th birthday when stricken. lliik Grown Flue Coton. Beaufort, St. C., Aug. 20.—The first cot ton picked this year In this section woe grown on Mr. B. S. Brown’s place, some two miles from town. Notwithstanding the long and severe drought the product already stored in his cotton house, con sisting of both sea island and short sta ple cotton, cannot readily be equaled in excellence of quality. Mr. Brown is a practical and experienced planter, and one of the most enterprising citizens of this section. Short Crop of Cotton. Cameron. Ga., Aug. 20.—Most of the farmers In this section have given up all hope of anything beyond a half crop of cotton, and many wi 1 make only a fourth of a crop. Cane, potatoes and peas urc* declining rapidly every day for the want of rain. Cotton bolls as large as guinea eggs are shedding and fal ing to the ground. North Carolina Cotton. Norfolk. Va., Aug. 20.—The fiiet bale of new cotton from North Carolina for this season was received here la*e Satur day evening. It graded middling, and was in good condition and of good staple. ATL ANTI AYS SAW A FIGHT. El die Murk, Known In Savannah, Wok Worsted by Fete l'erruttl. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 20.—Pete Ferrattl of luisvllle whipped Eddie Mack of New York in a six-round “go" to-night before a swell local athletic club. Several hun dred enthusiastic sports witnessed the mill and heartily’ cheered the winner. Both men entered the ring at 120, but the Italian appeared in the best form, i Mack took severe punishment throughout the battle. He was game to the last, and ! wanted the fight to go on, as did his seconds, but the club officers stopped the | mill to save Mack from a knockout. The referee refused to decide the fight, but the president of the club announced in favor of the Italian, who was as fresh as in the first round, while Mack waa ex ceedingly groggy. A feature of the fight was the attendance of half a hundred shirt-waist men, clu* members, who. by previous agreement, left their coats and suspender© at home and appeared in negligee shirts with belts and flannel trousers. It is believed to be the first step towards the general intro duction of the custom here. Ul HNED THE OLD BANK. Tax Digest of Richmond Showed a llcuvy Increase of Valnei.

The tax digest of Richmond county was complet'd to-night and forwarded to At lanta. It show’s an Increase of $1,238,990, over last year’s returns. The total re turns for 1900 are $23,634,605.

THE HYACINTH BLOCKADE. .1 ACKSONVILLfS WANTS IT REMOVED FROM THE ST. JOHN’S. A Celery Farmer’* Big Lons—Orange Comity Boys in the Navy—Some Note* About OrntiK** C'nltnre and the Pest* \\ liit li llathf'r the Orange Tree*—Note* About Matter* anil Tilings In General. Sanford, Fla., Aug. 20 Jacksonville has jut sent a delegation to Washington. D. C., to consult Gen. Wilson, IT. S. A., chief of engineers, about removing the water hyacinths from the St. Johns river. So far only temporary relief is in sight, as there is no appropriation . for such un usual obstructions. Again, it is argued that the side streams and creeks are not navigable, and therefore do not come un der the head of government work. This, however, is false reasoning, as they emp ty into the St. Johns river their hya cinth blockades, and for this reason any plan to clear this great river of the pest must of necessity include the cleaning out of all contiguous creeks, coves and streams No temporary relief is worth much, and only Congress can grant and provide for the permanent relief that is demanded by all the various interests along the St. Johns river from Sanford to Jacksonville. The recent burning of the big celery farm barn of Mr. A. Robbins, near this city, is quite a loss to him as well as something of a s< tback to his extensive celery growing operations. Last year his crop was curtailed for want of suitable lumber for bleaching boards, ami this he bad provided against for the coming sen son bv a full supply of seasoned lumber. But this was in the new barn and was consumed, causing him to lay in another supply before bleaching time arrives. The large increase in celery growing in this county has made an increased de mand upon mflls already’ crowded with lumber orders, ns the new pineapple sheds and orange grove sheds are taking nearly the entire output of many of the mills. In fact, millionaire John B. S-tet aon, at DeLand. put up his own mill to supply sheds for hi? extensive groves and pineries. There are no dull times around saw mills in Orange county. The cassava boom still keeps booming and a large amount will be gathered in this section for the Planters Starch Fac tory at Lake Mary. President Perkins advise*! fall planting and most of the present crop was put in then, which ac counts for muc'h of the slow growth re ported from many patches. Unusually the seed cane has been kept over and planted in the spring and this plan is thought to be the better one by old grow ers. Sanford is glad to welcome anew and excellent family here from Orlando, that of Route Agent W. T. Jamison of the Southern Express Company, recently pro moted from agent at the former city. He Is one of the most i*>pular and effi cient employes of the company and mar ried a sister of Division Superintendent Chus. L*. Myers, late of Savannah, who will be quite a desirable acquisition to our social circles. The Presbytery of St. Johns met in pro-re-nata session at Orlando on Tues day to dismiss Rev. J. Z. Haney of Lees burg. late pastor of the Apopka. Oak land and Lake Maitland churches, who goes to the Tuscaloosa, Ala., Presbytery, and to receive and license Mr. W. W. Powell, a recent young divinity student, who comes here to take charge of the group of churches lately served by Rev. Mr. Haney. Orange county now has four young rep resentatives in the United States navy. A son of Rev. Lyman Phelps of this city, one of Robert A. Mills, Esq., of Chuluota, one of Rev. G. W. Greet ham of Orlando, and one of Col. David A. Morrison of Maitland. In the volunteer service the county is represented by Capt. Hat. late of the Shine Guards of Orlan do, who Is in the Philippines. Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, the ex president’s somewhat erratic sister, is noted for her real estate deals. She made several in this county, and also in other parts of the slate, and wrote quite a magazine article on “My Florida.” She once invested near Sanford and later at Altamonte Springs. She and n Miss Ames have just bought a fine summer resi dence on an island near Camden, Maine. Mr. Henry Sikes, formerly of Whitaker street. Savannah, has been transferred from Kissimmee to Maitland, and put in charge of that section of the Plant Sys tem, where he is doing good work, and where he has located his family. His Knights of Pythias friends in Savannah will be glad to hear of his steady ad vancement in railroad circles. The old inquiry, “When doctors dis agree, who shall decide?” is just now' dis turbing the orange growers of Florida. The editor of the Florida Agriculturist, of DeLand, ha© visited the East Coast and declare© that he saw “die back” in the orange groves there. And now comes the editor of the Florida Farmer and Fruit Grower, of Jacksonville, who ha3 made a later visit to the East Coast, and declares positively that the “die back“ aim there. With the scale pest on the West Coast and the “die back” on the East Coast, we Orange county grove own ers feel quite content with our smaller crops and healthier tree*. So far our groves have responded liberally to renew ed cultivation in the more favored sec tions of the county, and the outlook for next year—if no drawback the coming winter—is very flattering. ♦ A SHOOTING AT PEMBROKE.
